IPA releases new type of pliers

Sept. 19, 2014

Innovative Products of America Inc. (IPA) says its new product, the 14-inch-long Mantus Tight Access Tool, surpasses the reach of the industry’s longest available needle nose pliers.

“Even the best needle nose pliers on the market are limited by their own design" says Ian Vinci, vice president of IPA.

"When using traditional pliers, the further you reach into a tight access area, the less they open. The unique feature of the Mantus allows its jaws to maintain the opening width even at its furthest reach."

Unlike traditional pliers, the handles flex as pressure is applied, ensuring a strong and consistent grip on the object being retrieved.

At the end of the tool's 14-inch reach, the Mantus features 30 interlocking teeth that are ideal for grabbing a variety of objects including fuses, wires, hoses, gaskets, o-rings,  hardware and more, according to the company.
